Good comments.

I agree about Sean. He is family and we love him. But, we also listen enough to know exactly where his faults are.

He should listen to the complaints because they would be useful as a critique of his show.

He has many talents but those talents can become corrupted in pursuit of his goals. When his goals become promoting Sean, selling his books, luring people to his website for more funds, and being willing to cater to outlandish dems to bring them on his show - we see what he is doing and we complain.

We are not idiots willing to take repetitive pablum and filler in honor to just pay homage to his money-grubbing, ego trips. We are there for content and we are often disappointed.

On the otherhand, look at Rush's show. It is always entertaining, different, intuitive. We also complain when he drifts off to sports, sexual innuendo or whatever.

Sean needs to realize you can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Give us worthwhile analysis, interviews, information and fun and we will gladly listen. Try and use the show as his own altar or to continually sap the public for money and you will receive many negatives and turned off people.

Sean just does not understand that the public has more options than to just listen to his ego trips, his sales promotions, his repetitive rhetoric, and his constant promotion of everything that promotes Sean. Give us something of interest - we are more intelligent than he gives us credit for.

"There are plenty of "non main stream Right media" that have asked the REAL questions."

I hear ya.

I have a few....

What ever happened to the Cox report...and its recommendations?

What about the major national security breaches during the Clinton administration...any prosecutions? Have we found those missing laptops?

What is the status of the Sandy Berger investigation? How long does it take to figure out he breached all known security protocols when he stuffed top top top secret documents in his pants and socks?

You got it. Rush is tops. Free Republic has allowed us all to network and know what is going on in REAL TIME. Sean had gotten too big headed. His arrogance which is showing will be his own demise. Oh well, ya either have ir or ya don't. Maybe Sean never did.

He might just know how "riled up everyone" is by the emails he's received.

"Are you sure he was really GOP? Or DU disrupter?"

He stated he was a GOP consultant.

And he was defending a well know Right Wing Media personality.

Sometime I worry about the closeness of the folks who supposed represent our side and the "consultants".

As I have said before, most of the scientists believe the problem is a combination of both - human activity speeding up a natural process. When you paint all those who believe human activity to be a contributing factor with the anti-capitalist brush, you're admitting to another political idealogy.

As another poster linked to you earlier, there's a petition with 17,000 names of scientists on it that says global warming as man-made phenomenon is bunk. That's evidence against claims that "a majority of scientists" buy into it. We have yet to see evidence to support that claim. This isn't ideology, it's disdain for ideological perversion of objective science.

If it were all about funding, there must be elements who are idealogically bent to disprove global warming, say factories or corporations who would be forced to reduce their emissions. Scientists who want to secure research funding for something, anything, would have no problem working for them. So where are these scientists?

I think it's pretty clear why there are no such elements. First, any study by an invested entity (such as a vehicle manufacturer or an energy company) would be discarded out of hand. Would you take the word of a tobacco company scientist who said smoking causes no harm? Secondly, ideology-warped science doesn't work that way, that there should be equal incentives to prove and disprove. If you've disproven global warming, what are the chances of getting a follow-up research grant, for something you've shown not to exist? Who researches the nonexistent? On the other hand, if you aim to show proof of global warming, then there can always be a follow up.

I hope by this point you can understand why I (and I would guess many others here if not most, but I will speak only for myself) am sick and tired of debunking the man-made global warming hypothesis for the umpteenth time. How much time have I spent on this, when you haven't even presented a single piece of evidence in support of it?

don't even know if the person giving the "evidence" is what s/he say s/he is.

Ad hominen argument. Since you can't disagree with the fact that a specialist knows what his colleagues are thinking, then you must challenge the person's credentials to avoid addressing the issue. Of course, you can always ask for credentials from the poster himself.

I can spend some time digging up some links here but I think you'll just probably diss them as being un-credentialed too.

Please post my EXACT quote where I said that.

Sounds like you are conceding that 17,000 scientists might NOT constitute a majority.

Yep! Rush is the man! I like him.

Just a little humor, folks.

On his show, Rush is always saying “Hi! Hire you?”
(“Hi! How are you?” A little Southern humor, haha!) .....

He's been heading south for awhile. I've been surfing shortwave in the evening (when he's on in my area) and finding some interesting stations, like World Harvest Radio and foreign news.

I agree with you about Savage. He is not as popular as the rest since he "always" tells it like it is. the difference is he doesn't sugar coat anything. He tells things exactly how they are, good or bad. Some people don't like to hear that. Then again most people couldn't broadcast for three hours a day without putting others to sleep.

Greetings...
Newbie to this board, but came over after reading general Free Republic grousing about Hannity saying unkind things re: FR. Sad to say it's true. JimRob has turned paranoid, and worse, hypocritical, activily endorsing racist, violent posters (as long as they support his views). Glad to be away from their cranks, obsessives and Zionuts.
